Shelter
$24.95
When I was just out of college I knew that owning is better than renting, and began scheming as to how I would accomplish that while working low-paying, high satisfaction jobs. I am not a hippie, but a how-to, DIY person. "Shelter" really fueled both the notion of what was possible and that things were even possible.

Having grown up in a middle class environment, I could only think of stock homes. I like stock homes, but I also know that a lot of the materials that go into them means for a huge price tag. While I would never live in a dome or a yurt, I did see plenty of ideas here and there that were more interesting than my cookie-cutter childhood home.

The second theme that "Shelter" delivers on is that of being able to do it myself. I was especially struck about the idea of buying a home on the cheap, improving it and flipping it. If you get George Nash's "Renovating Old Houses" he gets into the more nitty gritty of restoration. But, if you see some of these houses you know that, at the bottom as far as desirability goes, your house might still be better than renting (hey, it's yours).

The diversity explored in this book included materials I am comfortable with. Stone and recycled timber are two areas I have always wanted to explore, while the piece on demolition makes me want to buy a house and rebuild it elsewhere.

Today, I have a basic house that I did a lot of work on and will probably die in. It has flaws, but it is mine. I lost my old copy, and getting this reprint felt really great as I sit down after putting a new metal roof on my barn.

Armchair renovator, dreamer, real doer, or just like big books "Shelter" is great.
